He should be more worried about what his precious America will do to prevent that Chinese century. It won't be pretty for the rest of us

At the end, the Soviet Union had enough nukes to wipe out all mammalian life on the planet (and that's a conservative estimate). But when they finaly collapsed, there was no vindictive strike. Nobody tried to close the book on human history.

In the same position, could the United States ever do the same, when it's own end comes knocking?

[–] Bolshechick@hexbear.net 55 points 3 days ago

I think the US is led by people who are a lot more vindictive though

I gotta say. As a someone who was a teen fully deep in the "China bad" propaganda machine, I really don't get the fears that Americans have about China. It's a country like any other. At least they have healthcare kekw.
